Fantasy Tip: Lewis was expected to miss at least a couple of months, so the announcement isn't too surprising. You can stash him if you have a DL spot, but be prepared to be without him for the rest of the year.

Updating a previous report, Texas Rangers SP Colby Lewis (lat) will miss up to two months with a strained lat muscle. There has been no word yet on who will replace him in the starting rotation.

Fantasy Tip: Ouch, crucial blow for the Rangers, as the veteran Lewis has simply been fantastic this season. He left his start early on Tuesday night due to cramping in his right triceps, and the injury has turned out to be more serious than initially thought. Owners might want to look at A.J. Griffin (shoulder), as he's set to return from injury soon and will undoubtedly go back into the rotation with the Rangers' handful of injuries at the moment. Griffin was very solid this year before landing on the disabled list in the first half of May.

Fantasy Tip: Lewis has been one of the surprise stories of the 2016 season, being 6-1 with a shiny 3.21 ERA and a shockingly good 1.02 WHIP. However, he had to leave his last start early due to cramping in his right triceps, so it looks like this will cost him at least one start, if not more. More information should be available Thursday concerning Lewis' upcoming assignment.

Texas Rangers SP Colby Lewis (arm) was roughed up for six runs over a season-low tying five innings on Tuesday, June 21, against the Cincinnati Reds before leaving with cramping in his triceps. He is expected to be evaluated Wednesday, June 22.

Fantasy Tip: Lewis, who flirted with a perfect game in his last time out, has been riding low strikeout rates and good run support for most of the season, so he was due to pick up his first loss. The injury doesn't sound too serious, however, so his owners shouldn't be too afraid of using him on the road Monday against the New York Yankees.

Texas Rangers SP Colby Lewis recorded his first complete game of the season in improving to 6-0 Thursday, June 16, opposite the Oakland Athletics. The veteran right-hander actually had a perfect game going into the eighth inning, and a no-hitter into the ninth, but ended up allowing one run on two hits and a walk. He also struck out four.

Fantasy Tip: Lewis has easily been one of baseball's biggest surprises this season amongst starting pitchers, as not only is he still undefeated through mid-June, but he also owns a sparkling 2.81 ERA. At the same time, owners might want to think about selling him high sooner than later, as it's just unrealistic for Lewis to keep up this type of success throughout the remainder of the campaign, especially with his low strikeout totals.

Fantasy Tip: Lewis' record remains unblemished at 5-0, and he has recorded quality starts in eight of his past nine outings. He isn't a big strikeout pitcher, but he also doesn't yield many runs and will help everyone in the wins department when the team gives him a bit of run support.
